​South Florida ETA & SMB Happy Hour

​The Search Fund Coalition is bringing the ETA community together in South Florida for another evening of conversations and connections.

​We’re gathering the people who are building, buying, and running real businesses in South Florida’s growing ETA ecosystem. From first-time Searchers to seasoned deal pros, this is where meaningful connections get made.

​Whether you’re a Searcher, investor, operator, or advisor, you know this world is small. The best deals happen when you know the right people.

​This is where you meet them. Searchers connecting with investors who get it. Operators finding their next advisor. Founders spotting their future co-founder in a conversation over drinks.

​Come for the happy hour. Stay for the connections that actually move things forward.

​🎟️ Free to attend, thanks to our amazing event partners
